Had something at the local shop today that was different. One of the regulars had me try something he whipped up.
He had meant to order some PS Bullseye flake and accidentally ordered the twist flake. He rubbed it all out and added Perique at an 11-1 mixture.
It was actually very good.
At the moment, I'm on my balcony with some Dunhill Elizabethan in a Savinelli Punto Oro.
Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.

Don't listen to this guy!
A long time ago (couldn't have been over 3 years), probably on a forum far, far away,
@Tobias Lutz
sent me some fire cured Lemon Virginia and Maryland 609 blend he pressed and sliced. I enjoyed it so much, after a couple of bowls, I hid the rest in the bottom of my cellar (read cabinet in the living room) in a jar.
Happy as if I had good sense.

This was my grandfather's favorite, only stuff he ever smoked. I don't have it alot, mostly days where I spend time in the wood shop. Was his favorite past time so I usually finish it off having some Amphora "with" him

Some folks get along smoking a single tobacco exclusively. Notably, J. R. R. Tolkien (author of "Lord of the Rings") smoked only Capstan Medium (blue tin label). Me? I like the variety of a few significantly different tobaccos. Currently puffing Escudo (after a fill of Capstan Medium).

I think Tolkien's kids remembered he smoked mainly Capstan, but he also smoked Player's navy cut, supposedly three nuns, and in a letter he wrote to a pipe smoker who wrote asking what he liked, he even mentioned "Van Rossem's wasn't bad" (think, Troost slices, etc). I think he stuck to VA flakes though.
